About This Book

The collection presents a series of autumnal natural-history essays in which the writer wanders local fields, marshes, and shorelines, reporting vivid encounters with wildlife—foxes evading hounds, a surprise catch of a toadfish, eagles harrying prey—and describing seasonal behavior of birds, mammals, and plant life. Interleaved are practical lists of things to see, hear, and do in fall, anecdotal farm scenes and outdoor lessons, and guidance for noticing migrations, nests, and habits, all illustrated and rounded out with notes and suggestions for observers.
